Harveys Furniture is my favourite furniture store in the Peel Centre, it had much better service…read moreand selection than DFS nearby, it is a rather large store although slightly smaller than nearby DFS, with Bensons for Beds occupying the upper level of this store with a lift between the two making it fully accessible. I came here with a new sofa in mind, I had a very specific idea of what I wanted in a new sofa which was: - A two-seater yet not too large as it had to fit in my small living room - Comfortable yet I didn't care for more premium features such as reclining - Armrests which were spacious yet not too high (to act as a mini table if you will to rest my laptop) I'm pleased to say I was able to find a sofa to match my specifications, unlike at DFS nearby and the staff member seemed really helpful, one thing I liked was she didn't care about her commission, she cared about getting me the right sofa and delivering good service: she had no problem taking me to the clearance range first and helped explained about the product and how it was firm due to only coming in a few days ago where it was returned by a customer who changed her mind. I did have to wait a little while for her to confirm everything and communicate with the delivery driver as I did live over 15 miles away, I only came to this store as it is the easiest for me to get to via public transport, with it only being around 3/4 of a mile from Stockport Railway Station which is around 7-18 minutes on the train from Manchester, with the quicker services being with Avanti West Coast and CrossCountry. I was told that as it was a clearance item I couldn't pay on finance but that was fine as I had no intention of doing that anyway, the only slightly frustrating thing for me was the high delivery charge compared to other sofa places, but I was willing to pay it as £69 is only a little bit more than the £30-£40 average charge and considering I do live a little further out, and this was a bespoke product (there was only one) I liked which already had a good reduction in price at £479 and they could even deliver it the same day within a couple of hours, I was pleased with that. Harvey's also had genuinely lovely people as the staff, as my original server had too many customers at once, someone else who was free took over and they actually tried to persuade each other to take the commission on my order, I've never seen staff fight over why the other worker should get the bonus before, it wasn't an aggressive fight, it was just a friendly chat between friends more than anything, and if Harvey's are listening they both deserved it for excellent service! I would have liked to see a better selection of other items such as tables, however, and more of a variety of colours on their clearance range would have also been more exciting, but still, a rather good furniture shop where I finally found my sofa! 4*

An absolutely massive budget shop on London Road in Hazel Grove. Parking around there can be a bit…read moreof a nightmare but if you are passing and can stop, have a look in, you never know what you'll find. Upstairs is mainly a hardware store, and a fairly decent one at that. If you're looking for any DIY tools or materials then upstairs may well be worth a bit of a look. The quality of the materials is not always perfect but if you're willing to take a chance on something cheap you might end up with a bargain. Downstairs is a much more random selection of odds and ends, ranging from homeware and toiletries to framed dolphin pictures and 5-packs of cassette tapes for a pound. Even compared to other similar discount stores, Yu & Me is especially chaotic- there doesn't seem to be any sort of rhyme or reason to where things are stacked, and look out as you walk around, as certain product lines are often just left sat in the aisles where you will accidentally kick them. There's the occasional branded item in there but mostly it's obscure import brand stuff, so a lot of it is a gamble as to whether it will be any good or not. However, most things are just a pound so if you're in a gambling mood you can end up with a basket full of stuff. It's an almost mesmeric effect- you'll want to buy something, even if you don't think you do. You'll regret buying some of it maybe, but your wallet won't have taken too much of a hammering, so you'll forgive yourself

The only things I've ever bought from this shop are greetings cards, of which they have a really…read moregood, but admittedly somewhat pricey, selection. When I popped in the other day they had a sale going on, and many cards were knocked down to just £1. This kind of offer would definitely appeal to people like my Mum, who has a whole chest of drawers full of various cut-price greetings cards for every occasion - just in case someone moves house or gets engaged or turns 16 (we don't know any 15-year-olds). Apart from cards they had offers on lush smelling bath bombs and toiletries, mirrors, mugs and rugs. In the back room they also have a range of really nice furniture - I'll be back in about 30 years, when I have enough money to buy and furnish a house in Didsbury. Great for gifts and cards, and I'd recommend popping down soon to catch the end of the sale if you have the drawer space to store year's Christmas pressies!

If you're not drawn in by the eclectic window displays, then you'll most certainly be drawn in by the aroma of scented soaps and candles. Apart from a huge selection of cards, Elm Interiors specialise in jewellery, mirrors, pictures, clocks, photo frames, rugs, kitchenware, lighting and baskets. I came in here specifically for Christmas decorations and cards. The shop was bustling full of like-minded shoppers. I got a great box set of hand made cards for £5 and a wooden reindeer or two for the tree.

Overall a good shop & well worth a visit if you need some new carpets/flooring.

We bought a fantastic white lounge cabinet that wouldn't look out of place in a Malibu beach shack and were delighted to pick it up for less than £100 - great quality, just needed a bit of a shine and now it sits pride of place in our lounge. It's always worth popping in to see what they're stocking as things come and go so quickly that you never know what they'll be stocking from one day to the next. 5 mins walk from Stockport train station.

We headed down here as part of our current home improvement mission and it ticked a lot of boxes in terms of ease, knowledge of staff and generally was easy to get in and out of - with a large car park to the rear, just don't miss the sharp turning off the A6. They really are heavy on the Dulux and make sure you don't miss out on the upstairs which has loads of paint. The prices are good and this is where a lot of professional painters buy their stuff at trade prices, they'll also mix you up some colours in store if you need them to.

She could tell us about pretty much every single off-white paint there was and how it would dry. She talked me through everything I would need and made it very easy. I will definetly be buying my future paint investments from here.
